The controversial flood wall increased water levels by up to three centimetres for 240 homes during the 2022 inundation, but it won’t be torn down.
The Flemington Racecourse flood wall raised water levels for at least 240 homes in Maribyrnong during the 2022 inundation disaster, but the impacts were not significant enough to justify tearing it down., which focused specifically on the impacts of Flemington Racecourse’s 2.4-metre wall, found it increased flood levels by 0.8 centimetres to three centimetres in some residential areas and lengthened its duration.
In industrial parts of West Melbourne and Kensington, the flood level in October 2022 was six centimetres higher than it would have been had the wall not been built. The report noted that while an impact of more than one centimetre might be acceptable for projects of wide societal benefit, the principle guiding the construction of the wall by Victoria Racing Club in 2007 was that any adverse impacts “must be identified and prevented”.
